Friend that went with me picked up an 82 Virago, not quite complete for $60, He wanted the rims off of it, which just one was going for $60-80. It turns out to be a Midnite Special on top of it, just is missing so much that hardly worth trying to put it back on the road, but there surely will be someone needing parts from it.

Going to be out your way late July. The States Games (preliminary levels for the Olympics) will be held in Lincoln. My daughter will be competing at the low levels.

Good morning Iowa and friends. Sounds like you made a great hall at the swap meet.

Figure skating... poor girl has trouble walking gracefully, but is a natural on ice skates.

Didn't get to work on the Expedition today, forgot the wife had an OB appointment this morning and was busy working on farm stuff this afternoon. Since everyone and their dog was mowing the yard today I did get the lawn mower serviced tonight so I can mow the yard at some point.....


of course all four tires go flat overnight now.... It's always something and my shop is a messy disaster.

Good morning Iowa, happy Hump Day!

Roger, I'm the exact opposite. I can't ice skate to save my life! Here's hoping she does well!

Andy, how the heck did all four go flat?

Good morning Iowa! Good morning Pat. I have never been on ice skates, I can only assume that I wouldn't be any good at it.

I enjoy watching people ice skate, it looks fun. I used to snow ski years ago. I broke my angle real bad years ago and it healed a little crooked. That put the end to me skiing.

I tried snow skiing when I was younger, I just couldn't master it. My knees are toast anyway, so no chance of me trying it now!

Hey, you have any pics of the wife's truck? I'd like to see it!

Pat, I found a couple photos of my wife's truck on my phone. It used to be her daily driver up until maybe four years ago when we bought her a 2004 Explorer.
